NYT Spelling Bee

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QB yesterday, but only with help to find ablate, abettal, éclat, ejecta, lacteal. Today I am at genius with the pangram, but really stuck with five words to go.

LB: swingers-squarely, wings-squarely, swinger-reliquary, squarely-yawing. Lots of solutions this time! I have a 2fer today.

Happy puzzling!

Morning!

QBwSBB, last word lacteal. LB wings-squarely.

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Last words were minima, maintain.

carnivorous/sixty

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBwH for trimaran. LB carnivorous-sixty as well, Langue-doc.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got the pangrams and to a bit past genius.  Yesterday we needed bee buddy for trimaran, tamarin.  I also needed help for martin, which I guess I still don't immediately recognize as a non-proper noun.

I also got carnivorous-sixty for LB!

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwH to find tamarin, trimaran. Today I have one of the pangrams and am beyond genius.

LB: I had carnivorous-syntax. No 2fer yet today.

Happy puzzling!

I made it to QBABM!

I made it to QBABM!

Woohoo! I almost did then needed hints for an easy word.

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Made it to genius soon after 3 AM. Couldn't fall asleep after waking up around 2:30, hence the early start to the bee. I just found the pangram, so that's probably it for the bee. I also found a twofer. Most days I don't even look at LB until I'm fully awake, but I did, in the middle of the night, and much to my surprise, found an easy solution.

Needed BB for bedhead.

borough/headwind

Happy solving!

ETA: QB

Good morning!

Congratulations on QBABY, ab_grp! I got to QBABM as well, with baaed as my last word, tried in desperation. But...the pangrams were bighead/ed? Is that really one word? I got it by fooling around with unlikely combinations and was surprised when they were accepted.  Today I am past genius with the pangram, only three words to go. I'm hoping for another QBABM, but I often get tripped up on easy words, so who knows.

As for LB, I also had borough-headwind. I found a 2fer today, but it doesn't seem very economical, so if I have time, I may try for another one.

Happy puzzling!

Morning!

QBwH for baggage. LB doughier-rainbow.

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Got to somewhat past genius with the pangram (which took me a minute).  Husband got to QBABH.  Congrats on your QBABY as well, Langue_doc! Though I'm sorry you couldn't get back to sleep! Yesterday my final word was baba.  Congrats on your QBABY, cathwen! I don't think any of the words were difficult, but some were weird enough (spelling-wise, like baaed) to be tricky.  I didn't care for the pangrams, though I think they might have been in there before? Just glad to have found them.  Good luck today!

And congrats on your 2fers, Langue_doc and cathwen! No luck for me.  Congrats on another today, cathwen, and maybe more!

Happy solving!

ETA: congrats on your 2fer too, ciao_yall! And a different one at that! I don't know why it tells me there is a new post but won't show it before I post mine? I am still not used to this software, I guess.

Good morning!

Finally got the second pangram and to genius.  Yesterday I made it to QBABM! Final word was whey.

For LB I had routs-watching.

I started out the day with two different shoes on so am hoping things improve.

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBABM! Last word weeny. LB watching-grouts.

Happy solving!

Congrats on your QBABY and 2fer, ciao_yall!
